At this point, it really doesn't matter. I figure that the Flames should probably trade Tanev this off-season just in case he gets injured rather than wait until the deadline, even if the prices are likely to be higher by then.
I'd feel a lot more comfortable about a retool/rebuild if we keep a few reliable vets on D locked down. I think bringing in Wolf and a bunch of young forwards could stay competitive but if they blow up the blueline completely too it could get real ugly. And when the losing gets too bad you get yourselves into a full Oiler situation where you start destroying players developmentally. For me I'd like to see Tanev and Zadorov re-upped stick around for the first couple years if possible if the other 5 UFAs get moved
